History

Service to Celestia and Meeting Ye Xuan

Ronava served the Heavenly Principles for thousands of years before losing her authority. When Ye Xuan arrives in Teyvat, he lands on her while she is severely injured. She initially defends her position as Celestia’s Ruler of Death and insists that the Heavenly Principles is her master 1.

Ye Xuan subjects her to sexual coercion and demands that she accept him as her new master. He also promises to restore her strength and eventually remove the Heavenly Principles’ restrictions on her authority. Ronava reluctantly agrees while declaring that she will supervise his actions in Teyvat, after which he begins reversing time 1.

During their subsequent journey, Ye Xuan explains his life and Genshin Impact to her. She quickly accepts his claim that she is a game character, and their shared experience of betrayal by superiors improves her attitude toward him 2.

Employment in Liyue

Ye Xuan brings Ronava to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, presenting her ability to ferry dead souls as a qualification for employment. Hu Tao hires her for 100,000 Mora per month, with food, lodging, and two days off each week 2.

The pair share a room at Ye Xuan’s insistence. During a shopping trip, he buys Ronava new clothes, a Glaze Lily-shaped hairpin, and earrings. Their spending exhausts their initial wages, prompting Ronava to request another advance 3 4.

When Ningguang pays for information about their identities, Ye Xuan identifies Ronava as the god of death. Ganyu’s alarm confirms the seriousness of the revelation to Ningguang, who subsequently informs the Liyue Qixing that two exceptionally high-ranking gods are staying at the funeral parlor 4 5.

Establishing the Mondstadt Branch

Ronava accompanies Ye Xuan to Mondstadt to establish a Wangsheng Funeral Parlor branch. At the city entrance, she slams Swan into the wall with invisible force after the guards’ confrontation with Ye Xuan 6 7.

During negotiations with Jean, Gale Blade dislodges Ronava’s hairpin. Kaeya recognizes her and panics; Ronava, in turn, identifies his connection to Khaenri’ah and the Alberich family. Venti intervenes, agrees to arrange the branch and transfer Mondstadt’s funeral affairs, and warns Jean about the danger she nearly provoked 8.

Ronava later helps Ye Xuan frighten Lumine with a staged attack. Their hostility stems from an earlier conflict that Ronava attributes to Rhinedottir’s failure to follow a plan. Ye Xuan subsequently arranges paid sparring sessions between them, giving Ronava an opportunity to retaliate under the guise of training 11 12 14.

She also joins the group waiting for Lumine at the cathedral’s hidden chamber during the attempted theft of the Holy Lyre der Himmel. While waiting, she plays Pokémon against Ye Xuan and detects Lumine’s approach 16.

Shinjuku and Hajime Kashimo

Ronava travels with Ye Xuan and Eula to Shinjuku on December 24, 2018, where they observe Satoru Gojo’s battle with Sukuna. Gojo’s Six Eyes detects no cursed energy in any of the three visitors 18.

After Gojo wins, Hajime Kashimo challenges the visitors and attacks with lightning. Ronava blocks the attack, then applies what she learned from the preceding battle to create Domain Expansion: Requiem to the Underworld. Kashimo’s Hollow Wicker Basket fails to counter it, and she kills him with her Authority of Death 19 20.

The Mondstadt Crisis

After returning, Ronava detects a large Fatui presence outside Mondstadt during a monster assault. She alerts Ye Xuan and accompanies him to the city wall, where she watches the Fatui rather than joining the defense 21.

The pair later witness Swan disposing of Lawrence’s body. Ronava questions both human jealousy and Ye Xuan’s conduct, including his treatment of her when they first met 24.

At her latest documented appearance, she helps Ye Xuan sort through his newly obtained items, locating fifty-three Clow Cards. She then accompanies him to intervene after Eula’s reconnaissance company is captured by the Lawrence Clan 26.

Appearance

• Hair: Long, white or silver hair, described as soft and silky 1 8 11 14.
• Eyes: Golden 1.
• Build: A voluptuous figure contrasted with a small, youthful-looking face and rounded cheeks 1 6 10 19.
• Liyue clothing: A moon-white, narrow-sleeved blouse and lotus-pink long skirt 3.
• Accessories: A Glaze Lily-shaped hairpin and simple earrings purchased by Ye Xuan 3.
• Later outfit: One of a matching pair of cat-themed outfits worn with Ye Xuan during Mondstadt’s monster assault 21.

Personality

Ronava initially presents herself as proud, cold, and stubborn. Even while powerless, she invokes her divine office and resists accepting another master. Ye Xuan’s acknowledgment of her exhausting service softens her, but she attaches a condition to her submission: she intends to supervise his behavior in Teyvat 1.

With Ye Xuan, she becomes more openly affectionate and playful without losing her sharp tongue. She calls out his double standards, mocks his shamelessness, and turns his requests for praise into jokes at his expense. Venti is astonished to see the former “Mother of the Underworld” behaving so childishly 10 11.

She remains capable of resentment and severity. She blames Rhinedottir for their failed plan, welcomes opportunities to get even with Lumine, and shows little hesitation when Kashimo challenges her. Nevertheless, Swan’s murder of a longtime companion leaves her questioning human behavior 11 14 20 24.

Abilities & Skills

Authority of Death

Ronava possesses the Authority of Death associated with her former office as Celestia’s Ruler of Death 1 20.

• Uses this authority to kill Kashimo within her elemental domain 20.
• Is described by Ye Xuan as capable of ferrying the souls of the dead, the basis for Hu Tao hiring her 2.
• Previously operated under restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Principles; Ye Xuan promises to remove them, but their removal is not documented 1.

Domain Expansion: Requiem to the Underworld

Ronava develops this ability after observing Gojo and Sukuna, combining all seven Elemental Powers into a small world rather than constructing a cursed technique 20.

• Envelops everyone nearby, including Gojo and the spectators 20.
• Produces an inescapable sensation of death clinging to those inside 20.
• Allows her to attack with the Authority of Death within the constructed world 20.
• Defeats Hollow Wicker Basket because its defense against a domain’s sure-hit technique does not neutralize her elemental construction or divine authority 20.
• Dissipates immediately after Kashimo dies 20.

Divine Perception

Ronava can locate powerful beings and monitor approaching people or distant activity 6 7 16 21.

• Senses Morax moving from Liyue Harbor to Mt. Tianheng 6.
• Locates Barbatos and notices him preparing to flee outside Jean’s window 7 8.
• Detects Lumine approaching the cathedral’s hidden chamber 16.
• Identifies a large concentration of Fatui outside Mondstadt 21.
• Names Asmoday as an exception to her confidence that nobody can steal something under her watch 16.

Manifestations and Force Manipulation

• Blood-red eye: Makes boxes of Mora vanish while radiating pressure strong enough to force nearby people to their knees 6.
• Invisible force: Sends Swan crashing into Mondstadt’s city wall with a wave of her hand 7.
• Black feathers: Controls a dense torrent of feathers, then recalls them without injuring Lumine during their staged confrontation 12.
• Lightning defense: Stops Kashimo’s lightning against her palm 20.

Equipment & Personal Items

• Glaze Lily hairpin — A gift from Ye Xuan. Ronava carefully checks it for damage after Jean’s attack dislodges it 3 8.
• Simple earrings — Purchased alongside the hairpin during their Liyue shopping trip 3.
• Nintendo Switch — Uses one of Ye Xuan’s two consoles to play Pokémon while waiting at the cathedral; he repeatedly outplays her 16.

Relationships

• Ye Xuan — Her master, intimate partner, and traveling companion. Their relationship begins through coercion and develops into affection and banter; she becomes his principal protection while he lacks combat abilities. She later directly challenges his justification for abusing her at their first meeting 1 10 11 20 24.
• Hu Tao — Her employer at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Hu Tao offers generous employment terms after hearing about her previous mistreatment and later deals with the pair’s rapid spending 2 3 4.
• Lumine — An adversary connected to an earlier conflict, later her paid sparring partner. Ronava uses both a staged attack and training sessions to get even with her 11 12 14.
• Venti / Barbatos — Treats her with considerable fear and addresses her as “Auntie.” He protects her falling hairpin with wind and facilitates the funeral parlor’s Mondstadt branch 8.
• Eula Lawrence — Fellow maid and interworld traveling companion. Ronava prompts Ye Xuan to insist that Eula address him as “master”; whether this reflects jealousy is left uncertain 14 18.
• Asmoday — Fellow Shade and former colleague. Ronava recognizes her exceptional ability to evade detection 1 12 16.
• Istaroth — A Celestia associate who resents being left behind when Ronava departs for another world 18.
• Rhinedottir — Blames her for failing to carry out a plan and for the circumstances behind her conflict with Lumine; the plan itself is not explained 8 11.
• Kaeya Alberich — Recognizes Ronava with immediate terror; she identifies his Khaenri’ahn and Alberich connections 8.
